Tashi Delek Master !! You Deserved even bigger than this award la……Kenchosum Bless you and wish you have a long life la..
the award was well deserved. unfortunately not many people knew about the great achievement because the national news papers and the media were did not know about it until after a long time. we even conducted 3rd Paro valley Taekwondo Championship on 24th _ 25th which was dedicated for his achievement and i believe many participants knew about it only when it was told in the opening address.
his achievement is pride to the whole Taekwondo family of Bhutan..
Trashi Delek.
I feel Bhutanese media should really wake up and start their moves !! They are still sleeping!!! How can they missed out such big news as it’s a pride for our nation and no one came to know about this is Bhutan !! Not many people receive such kind of awards !! It’s a huge one for our country and I feel shame on Bhutanese media !!!
I would be grateful if you could convey the Congratulations for his achievements from an old friend from Sherubtse.
Tashi Delek Grandmaster!
